Lunch time? A short break? Can you feel the strong personality of the man, and the intimacy of the moment so close to this man? It could be your neighbour, your friend, telling stories over the fence â€¦

I'm Steve Bennish, an independent reporter and documentary photographer based in Dayton, Ohio, working on a multi-year photo series about the impact of the Great Recession on the city of Dayton. My series explores the loss of well-paying industries and how residents adjust to economic loss and inequality. This photograph was taken in a neighborhood known as Old North Dayton. The man is a retired Dayton electroplate worker whose former workplace went out of business. He is eating an ice cream bar outside his home after spending a hot afternoon on a riding mower cleaning up overgrown lots. Given the themes of our recent presidential election campaign and the election result, I find this photo haunting and meaningful. I have published three books, "Scrappers," "A City of Neighbors," and "Parallel Universe." The photograph was taken with a Rolleiflex, Xenar 75 mm lens, using Kodak T-Max 400 film. I use Lightroom 4.

The photograph first shows a serious "woman", but the shadow shows a young lively girl!

Thank you for Mark of Excellence!!. I'm Felipe MuÃ±oz from Santiago, Chile. Engineer in telecommunications and an amateur photographer. I continually walk the streets in my spare time. This photograph was taken in Santiago town on October 6, 2016 to a homeless asking for money on the street, I was close to him and saw the scene,i inmediately decided to take a photo so i measured the light and set the camera with ISO 640, f8, 1/500s, then calculate with the sight the distance and apply on the lens, i was put the camera about 40 cm from the floor without looking through the viewfinder, then i calculate the framing and shot, in the first instance the photograph had to be only with the man asking for money, but at the moment of shooting crossed all those people walking from one side to another, the result was an incredible photography for me. This photograph was made with a Leica M9 and 50mm summicron lens. Many thanks again and greetings to the I-SHOT-IT team!

I love the simplicity in the photograph - the special light and the shadows. Well seen geometric shapes and composition.
